The search for live music in Madison, WI brought up a show at The Frequency with Nellie Wilson. The name grabbed me instantly and images of her in a country skirt puffed out with petticoats got my attention and I checked out some of her music. I was sold. The funny, sarcastic & sometimes raunchy stories pulled me right in and I knew that this was the show. When I chatted with Terri, she hesitently told me that she wasn’t wearing the petticoat skirts anymore that she had gone for less cutesy and more honesty. All right, even more sold. I showed up to The Frequency and got a taste of the sounds to come during their soundcheck. This was going to be a great night.
Terri’s vocals are like a warm dream of butterscotch, she sings of her life and the lives she sees. She sings of heartbreak and despair and the joy in a $2 pint. She sings the stories of life and damn she sings them well. And her band. HER BAND. The Hellbound Honeys are tight! That fiddle – oh that fiddle!! and those perfect slaps on the upright bass. and the harmonies..oh those harmonies…they just pour over you with a silky flow. I’ve found my dream in a honkey tonk, country, sweet sounding band right here. Her songs are anthems for us all. I cannot stop listening to her cds. Buy them here, you will not be disappointed!
